What crane configuration and lift sequence were used in a wind turbine erection project?
A Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 mobile crane with 197-foot main boom erected a 2.3MW wind turbine using a three-lift sequence: tower sections, nacelle, then rotor assembly.
Wind turbine erection typically employs large mobile cranes due to their mobility between turbine locations. For a standard 2.3MW turbine with 262-foot hub height, a Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 (750-ton capacity) configured with maximum counterweight and 197-foot main boom provides the necessary reach and capacity at working radius.
Remember: "L-TNR": Liebherr lifts Tower, Nacelle, Rotor (3-step sequence for wind turbine erection)
